Some bands, no matter how good they sound, just never seem able to make the leap into the public consciousness. Case in point, the exceptional EBM/Dance music of Regenerator, a band mind you that has been around so long that they actually can, and did, release a "Best of" compilation entitled REGNERATED X. This, the US version, offers 15 definitive remixes of their most classic tracks from a career that has spanned 7 albums and over a decade of performing in the electro goth music scene. As an additional bonus the previously unreleased Lights of Euphoria version of "Organism" from the forthcoming CD DISEASE was also added..

The remixers were a dream team of notable electro goth bands both new and old. Notable mixes include Razed in Black’s "Blink (rave in black mix)", Assemblage 23's "Take Me (aether mix)", Front 242's "Everyone Follow (orgazmix)", Clan of Xymox’s "Lightbringer (clandestiny mix)" and Purr Machine’s "Drug (feel good mix". Also providing remixes were bands Observe & Control, Koito, Bigod 20, Epsilon Minus, Dust of Basement, Vultures, SD6, Collide, Attrition, and Divider.

If this album doesn’t catch the ear of the dancing masses, perhaps nothing will.
